Additive manufacturing technologies based on melting and solidification have considerable
similarities with fusion-based welding technologies, either by electric arc or high-power …

Friction welding (FW) is a high quality, nominally solid-state joining process, which produces
welds of high structural integrity. Rotary friction welding (RFW) is the most commonly used …

Friction-based welding processes are considered as very efficient solid-state metal joining
processes due to soundness of the welded joint with remarkably less energy consumption …

Linear friction welding (LFW) is a solid-state joining process that is an established
technology for the fabrication of titanium alloy bladed disks (blisks) in aero-engines. Owing …

Ni-based superalloys are one of the most important materials employed in high-temperature
applications within the aerospace and nuclear energy industries and in gas turbines due to …

In the past decade several versions of micro-scale residual stress analysis techniques have
been developed based on Focused Ion Beam (FIB) milling at sample surface followed by …

In multi-layer welding, the interaction between the weld beads had a great impact on the
performance of the overall joint. Therefore, experimental research and thermal-plastic …

The linear friction welding (LFW) process is finding increasing interest from industry for the
fabrication of near-net-shape, titanium alloy Ti–6Al–4V, aerospace components. Currently …

Honeycomb as sandwich core construction has been established as one of the best
candidates among ultralight cellular materials for load-bearing and energy absorption …

This paper presents a thorough investigation of the influence of the applied pressure on the
behavior and distribution of residual stress (RS) within linear friction welded medium carbon …
